I rooted my phone using the SuperOneClickMethod and then installed ROM Manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery onto my phone. After this i tried to backup and install a new rom onto my phone and when i would do that it woudlnt allow me to backup and it wouldnt let the rom install. it would just bring me to a recovery screen and i would have to reboot my phone. i tried unrooting, formatting the SD card, doing a system wipe and then trying it all over again and now when i try to boot into recovery it just shows a trangle with a cell phone laying down next to it. it doesnt let me do anything i have to pull my battery to reboot it and then it goes back to normal. What do i do to fix this?
PS: my Volume Up is broken so i cant even attempt to boot into stock recovery.
If you can't enter on recovery.
I think you will need to install the original ROM, just using RSD lite.
Or search for froyo version if don't need base.
Is there a way to get rid of the clockwork mod boot on the nook color
As per onstuctions on this site, I got a 1.1 pre roote version and installed it
from the sd card with the clockwork menu which informed me that the
"NookColor" install complete.
when I reboot, it starts with the welcome message,but then only reboots into the same recovery menu.
At this point I would just like to go back to a stock rom, but cannot boot anything but the recovery.
By the way, I can boot froyo from the sd card
Please help me
I've moved your thread to the correct forum.
So you dont have the CWR sdcard in? Because if you did, you would need to remove that first. Sorry if this dumb, but thats all I can think of right now. Maybe reflash the 1.1 pre rooted rom? Or follow the instructions in Samuelhalff's "Easily restore to stock" thread located here in the Nook forums.
The "Easily restore to stock" saved the day. I am now up and running.
Thanks
How did you do that? I have CWR on mine and I went to buy a book from the shop on the Nook and it downloaded and installed 1.1... Now when I try to go back and restore from backup CWR doesn't respond... All it does is sit there and if I select something from the menu it goes to the background image (the circle with the top hat) and sits there. I would like to remove this so I can reroot my Nook...
Thanks for any help.

See the other thread or sticky that's labeled "How to Restore to Stock easiliy." I believe you can also use the power down and on 8 times trick to restore to stock as well.
Same thing happened to me. I used Clockwork to flash the CWR-removal.zip on the restore thread mentioned above and it fixed my boot, everything else was OK.

Ditto that. I reinstalled CW and everything seems to be working fine. Has anyone else had issues with using Rom Manager on the NC? I've had to go back to stock twice whenever I've used it.
I had a problem when trying to roll my 1.1 rooted NC back to stock because I futzed it up that I ended up in a CWR loop. 8 resets didn't get me a reflash, it got a recovery. Took me finally getting the NC flashed and rerooted at 1.1 a second time when I reinstalled ROM Manager and ended up with the problem again. Took me this wasted effort to realize that CWR runs in lieu of the reflash if CWR is installed and that's an obvious problem when I wanted a reflash and not restore a different backup.
There is a thread with a zip that CWR can run that blasts CWR off and reflashs stock and getting that done put me back both times I messed up above.
Seems to me that perhaps the whole "can never brick" response when people ask for help needs to have an addendum about how CWR gets in the way of an 8 reboot reflash and provide guidance on how to get that update file and use it instead to get back to square one. (Plus some advice on when to clear caches and data partitions to avoid weirdness later).
Now rerooted on 1.1 with no ROM Manager running but I'm missing the nandroid bacjup capability, so maybe I reinstall but stay away from the recovery option until I need it?
I reinstalled CW after I rerooted 1.1 and have had no problems with it so far, but I also haven't tried to backup or anything since the first time (which initially got me into this mess).
I do think you're right about having some sort of addendum thrown in. I was running circles around the XDA forums for a few hours trying to find some sort of fix the first time my Nook started acting weird. The 8-reboot trick just wouldn't work, and my battery was more or less drained because CW was interfering. Maybe this is just understood by most, but it certainly would have saved me some time (and some gray hairs) if someone had mentioned it earlier.
So what is the conclusion of this thread? I have a new NC, updated to 1.1 and installed AutoNooker 3.0, immediately installed Clockwork and did a NAND backup... bad thing is that it won't boot off the eMMC anymore, only CW.
I can boot roms off of the SD card (ie Honeycomb) but this isn't want I want. I've downloaded and flashed several roms but its looped at CW. So the rom isn't the problem.
If we can't install Clockwork Recovery, then how can we flash new roms to the eMMC?
[UPDATE]
Found a flashable file which removes Clockwork Recovery.
http://www.etoile-laconnex.com/CWR-removal-rootsafe.zip
After I flashed that I am now booting off the eMMC froyo rom. Nice! Saved me from Restoring it, updating it, and reRooting it.
[UPDATE 2]
Well while it worked initially, it loaded the homescreen and reset. Now it is stuck at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen with no Recovery... which worse off. Now I have to make a CWM bootable SD, flash the restore, and start over. Nice.
[UPDATE 3]
Finally got it back to stock after hours. I found a "MonsterPack" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922870
Even this was more complicated then it needed. I had to download the 128mb RootPack image, and get it going so I can grab the needed root files. Then download the right size Clockwork image for my memory card and get it going. The end result ended in a Clockwork SD card. Then I made a "sdcard" folder from where I added the rootpack files and the stock image 1.0.1 flashable zip file.
Format the system and boot partitions, then flash the stock zip.
I just upgraded stock to 1.1, then will proceed to boot off the microsd and root, install GAPPS, etc.
I wish I knew of a great custom rom to flash. I flashed Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 and it powers down immediately (several complaints about this). Maybe CM7?
Ditto
I'm having this problem as well, but I can't seem to do anything to fix it. I was running 1.1, and auto-nootered using v3.0. Everything was hunky dory until I installed CWR. I flashed, shutdown, restarted, then chose to perform a backup which brought me down into CWR and I was never able to get out. I used the Monster pack zip to remove CWR, and now I boot to the "n" screen and sit forever. I tried the 8 hard resets and it said it installed on two different occasions, but still I sit on the "n" screen during boot. I tried the 1.0.1 restore zip as well, but to no avail. What do I need to do to get back up and running?
CW Recovery only
So I flashed my NC with both the pre-dualboot and the dual-honeycomb rom, but every time I reboot with the SD card inserted, it only boots to CW recovery. When I take it out..it boots to NC stock OS.
Am I suppose to remove clockwork recovery with the CW-removal zip? I tried that.. once it rebooted it went right back to CW. Should I be using two different SD cards? One for CW recovery and one to load the eMMc?
So confused...
What I need to know is what should be on the SD card after everything is flashed.
Mw : you could use a bootable cwr sdcard and flash 'emmc recovery repair', then format data and restore your backup.
Ehamonn: you have to remove cwr from the sdcard. Format should do the trick. But you'll loose the data on it..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Do I need to keep a boot image on the card after I format?
Well, if you only want to boot from internal memory, no.
Hi all, my name is Daniel.
I am using a motorola Milestone A853 for the past one year and never faced any issue while rooting or installing custom roms right upto cm10.
from last two months the milestone has not been working properly. It so happened i had installed CM 9.0.1d and everything worked fine. but once the battery died the phone did not boot up and was stuck on moto boot logo and kept restarting from there. I tried to go into open recovery (fufu minimod) using the X+power key and it goes into recovery but after loading recovery it did not display any options and the other text was red in color and it showed the error failed to load menu.init. I replaced the update.zip file along with the open recovery folder, but still nothing worked. I then tried another open recovery but still open recovery never loaded. Then i SBF'ed the device and went back to stock and was able to use my phone again. But then when i try to root the device again i am not able to root using vulnerable SBF as it does not install though RSDLite shows pass. Then i used superoneclick to root and that did the trick. But still open recovery never installed or load. Luckily androidiani recovery which displayed an error cannot mount but still created the menu and i was able to install custom OS but only cm 7.2.4e and not cm9 nor cm10. I cannot reboot the phone as the phone never starts up. only after clearing dalvik and wiping cache phone boots up. After a certain time now i still cannot install cm7.2.4e as it does not load and gets stuck on custom bootscreen, so i installed MIUI rom which works and starts up but i still can never reboot my phone.
Errors Seen E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
Kindly help as the phone is just barely working.
Your phone has some serious issues...
How stable it is with stock rom? Maybe You should flash a stock 2.2 and see if you have any issues.
If not, then flash vulnerable recovery and so on, step-by-step.
Maybe it will be easier to locate the source of the problem this way.
Tried Everything

Thank you for your reply. I have tried flashing stock 2.2 and still I cannot reboot the phone without wiping cache and using the reset factory option in stock recovery. Using superoneclick I can root it and install androidiani recovery but I cannot use cm10 or cm 9. after installing cm9 the phone just restarts after cm9 boot screen and after installing cm10 the phone shows the stock android boot screen. cm 7.2.4e installs as well as miui but if battery dies or if I have to restart the phone if it gets sluggish and slow then I cannot...everytime for the phone to boot I have to wipe dalvik and cache for custom roms and for stock roms I have to wipe cache and factory reset.
SO basically I am stuck...have tried changing the sd card, repartitioning the sd card, but nothing worked
Open recovery cannot be used only andoidiani works after popping up some errors.
Kindly help.
cm 10.2.1 works great in rom slot 2 on my droid4, but not in the stock slot. Is there something different I have to do?
I activated the stock slot, did a Factory Reset, installed cm and gapps. It boots, shows the safestrap splash screen, then goes to a black screen with the backlight on. Nothing after that.
I can connect with adb and see the logs, there are repeated heap dumps from something crashing, but I don't see a line saying what. It appears to be trying to start AndroidRuntime and dalvik (same thing?) over and over. Does this give anyone a clue?
I also tried wiping /system after a factory reset, but it just hangs on the black screen, no change.
Before this, I had the latest OTA in the stock slot, and I was running eclipse rom 1.0.8 (or something) in slot 1. I am able to restore my safestrap backup of the stock slot and the stock rom still works.
You can only safely install Cyanogen in ROM-Slot 1. Never try to install to the stock ROM slot. Slots 2 and 3 are touch and go. It's best to just stick with ROM-Slot 1.
If you've already installed it in the stock ROM slot, then you'll likely have to restore your phone using SBF/fastboot files and start the whole process over from a stock system. :\

The note on the cyanogen site says "Builds older than 09/01/2013 must be installed on rom-slot1." I've read threads where people are using cm and aokp in the stock slot, so I thought it would work.
Any idea why it can't work in the stock slot? Safestrap seems to create image files for virtual filesystems of system, cache, and userdata which are obviously just imitating the stock partitions. I guess you need to bypass that logic, so can I just tweak the fstab or something? I'm curious what other magic safestrap is doing (or the cm/aokp roms) that needs to be adjusted for stock.
Nevermind, I figured out my mistake. I was on an old version of safestrap. Upgraded to safestrap-maserati-3.65, flashed latest nightly cm11 to stock slot, and it works. Great job cyanogenmod!
I recently got a used (refurbished) Nook HD (BNTV400, hummingbird). I've been trying to install TWRP and a custom ROM on it, but so far have failed at both.
I created a bootable SD card (FAT32 format) and copied the CWM files over to it. After booting into CWM, I installed two zips I found on XDA threads: one for rooting and one for enabling unknown sources. These both seeemed useful, and the installations went off without a hitch.
However, when I try to install TWRP, nothing happens. I've been trying to boot into recovery by holding down the N and power keys, but all I get is a message asking me if I want to factory reset. So, it seems like the zip didn't get flashed properly.
Installing a ROM is even worse. I've tried AOSP and Cyanogen, but both give me boot loops. It just brings up the Cyanoboot screen where it stays for a minute or two, and then the screen goes black for a bit, and then it returns to the Cyanoboot screen.
Fortunately, I did make a backup, so I can boot into CWM and restore the system, but what I really want to do is install TWRP and Cyanogen (or something similar) on it.
